Morning Briefing: Easy cookin'

FIRST PITCH: The Mets beat the Braves, 5-3, on Tuesday night at Citi Field as Zack Wheeler defeated his hometown team for the third time in as many tries. Wheeler said after the game it's an easy game plan against the Braves, who own baseball's best record.

Jon Niese will look to pitch the Mets to the sweep on Wednesday afternoon.
